Blueberry Angel Food Muffins Recipes

BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or use cupcake liners. Grease/line a second pan with 2 liners because this recipe yields about 14 muffins. Set aside.
• Mix all of the topping ingredients together. Set aside.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. On medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the sour cream and vanilla extract on medium speed until combined. With the mixer running on low speed, add the dry ingredients and milk into the wet ingredients and beat until no flour pockets remain. Fold in the blueberries.
• Spoon the batter into liners, filling them all the way to the top. Spoon brown sugar topping on each, gently pressing it down into the surface so it sticks. Bake for 5 minutes at 425 then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Bake for an additional 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The total time these muffins take in the oven is about 23-25 minutes, give or take. Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
• Muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

ANGEL FOOD MUFFINS WITH VARIATIONS

Steps:

• Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Prepare the muffin tins by spraying the cups and the rims around them with nonstick spray.
• Sprinkle a pinch of flour into each of the cups and shake the tin around, coating the interior surface of the muffin cups with flour.
• Shake out excess flour by rapping the tin against the side of the sink.
• Whisk 1 cup flour with 1/2 cup sugar in a medium bowl until blended and set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and salt with an electric mixer at medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute.
• Raise the speed to high, beat in the cream of tartar, and continue beating until soft peaks form.
• With the mixer running, add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a slow stream, then beat in the vanilla.
• Continue beating for about 3 minutes, or until the mixture is stiff and shiny and until no sugar granules can be felt when a bit of beaten egg white is rubbed between your fingertips.
• Use a rubber spatula to fold in a third of the flour mixture. Do not beat; fold in long, even arcs, so that the whites stay fluffy but the flour is evenly distributed.
• Fold in half of the remaining flour mixture using the same technique.
• Then very gently fold in the remaining flour mixture, just so that the flour is mixed in, but not so that it dissolves.
• Fill the prepared tins to the top; divide any remaining batter equally among the tins, piling it as high above the rims as necessary.
• Bake for 28 minutes, or until well browned.
• Place the tins on a wire rack to cool for 45 minutes.
• Gently rock the muffins back and forth to release them from the tins.
• Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 24 hours or freeze them in freezer-safe bags for up to 2 months.
• CINNAMON ANGEL FOOD MUFFINS ~ Add 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon with the flour.
• LEMON ANGEL FOOD MUFFINS ~ Add 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest and 1 teaspoon lemon extract with the vanilla. If desired, drizzle the cooled muffins with a lemon icing.
• ORANGE ANGEL FOOD MUFFINS ~ Add 2 teaspoons grated orange zest and 1 teaspoon orange extract with the vanilla.
• VANILLA GLAZED ANGEL FOOD MUFFINS ~ Coat the cooled muffins with a vanilla glaze or icing.

Steps:

• Cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), whip the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt and continue whipping until soft peaks form. With the mixer running, gradually add 1 cup of the sugar and continue whipping until stiff and the sugar has dissolved, about 30 seconds.
• Sift the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with the pre-sifted cake flour 3 times, to aerate the mixture. Fold into the egg whites, then fold in the vanilla, zest, and blueberries. Scoop the batter into paper lined large muffin cups. Bake until light golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Glaze: Stir the ingredients together until smooth. Dip the tops of the muffins into the glaze.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tins with paper liners.
• Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl and mix together. In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, butter, lemon zest, and eggs. Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a fork just until blended. Fold the blueberries into the batter. Don't over mix! With a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice-cream scoop or large spoon, scoop the batter into the prepared cups, filling them almost full.
• Bake the muffins for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown.

THE BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Whisk together 2 1/2 cups of the flour and the baking powder in a medium bowl until completely combined. Toss 1 1/2 cups of the blueberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour in a medium bowl until completely coated. Whisk together the buttermilk, sour cream, vanilla and salt in a large measuring cup until smooth.
• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Spray the top of a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray and line with standard cupcake liners. (It's important to spray the top of the pan because the muffin tops will stick to the pan if you don't.)
• Beat the butter, granulated sugar and lemon zest with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, occasionally scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and yolks and continue beating until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes.
• With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the wet ingredients in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed (be careful not to overmix).
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups with a heaping 1/3 cup per muffin. Top the batter with the remaining 1/2 cup blueberries, gently pressing to adhere (you should have 4 to 5 berries per muffin). Sprinkle with the raw sugar.
• Bake the muffins, rotating the pan halfway through, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then remove the muffins onto the wire rack to cool completely.

EASY BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Beat the butter and caster sugar together until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs and beat in for 1 min, then mix in the yogurt, vanilla extract and milk. Combine the flour, baking powder and bicarb in a bowl with ¼ tsp fine salt, then tip this into the wet ingredients and stir in. Finally, fold in the blueberries and divide the mixture between the muffin cases.
• Bake for 5 mins, then reduce oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and bake for 15-18 mins more until risen and golden, and a cocktail stick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then carefully lift out onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Will keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container - after a day or two, pop them in the microwave for 10-15 secs on high to freshen up.
